Del Amitri - Waking Hours
I first heard "Kiss This Thing Goodbye" on Canadian radio in college in 1989. I really like the song and picked up the album from a record store in Potsdam, NY. It's their second album, and my personal favorite from Del Amitri. They broke up after their last album, Can You Do Me Good, didn't sell in the UK and was never released in the US. My other memory of Del Amitri is hearing them on the radio on WXRT in Chicago after drinking with morning DJ Lin Brehmer for most of the previous night.
Another oldie-but-goodie from my college days is "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits.
When I drove to school, I would wait to play this CD until I got to Tupper Lake, which was the last "real" town before I'd get to Potsdam. It would usually be pretty late at night, since it took 8 hours to drive to Potsdam from our house in Northport (really Eatons Neck) on Long Island. This was (and still is) a great CD to play on a dark 2 lane road at night.
